WATERBLOMMETJIEBREDIE

'Waterblommetjiebredie' is a stew. The name comes from the Afrikaans "water"-"blommetjie" (small flower)-"bredie" (stew). It is made of meat stewed together with a flower (known as Cape Pondweed or Water Hawthorn) found in the dams and marshes of the Western Cape. The buds (''waterblommetjies'') are usually ready to be picked in the months of July and August.
The taste can be described as much like stewed green beans with a hint of pumpkin with a little "pond" taste about it.
